I did hear back from TrueBooks and they had my return ready for me to review, but there was a tax credit missing, so we’re back to waiting for them to make corrections 😫 

While I continue nurturing those realtor relationships (and patiently waiting for my phone to ring), I'm curious to explore other avenues for sourcing off-market deals.

That is assuming your DTI can cover the increased mortgage payment.If you have use for that extra $100k that you would get back right now then don’t wait.

You may pay 1.5m and up for a good one, likely more if parking and balconies, but the play is to buy a multi and then wait and in a few years, turn them into condos and sell them separately - that's how you make the money there.

You want to wait after the work is complete before you get an appraisal and do not do it until you are refinancing because most lenders will want it through the AMC and you will be out your money.

The keyword is I bought one month ago.thank you  If you did not make any improvements on the property, you will need to wait at least 90 days seasoning to refinance on a long term DSCR loan.

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

That is disaster waiting to be uncovered.

But, since I've been in a holding pattern waiting on the Florida builds, I haven't seen a clear path forward to purchase another house while waiting for the builds to finish.That really doesn't answer the question of why you decided that your "plan" was to buy one property per year. 

Sometimes the best investments are the ones you wait for.Here’s the kicker: utilities and zoning can make or break these plays.
